You are visiting one of the nation's finest Catholic liberal arts colleges. Saint Anselm was founded in 1889 by Benedictine monks, whose tradition of leadership in education spans more than 15 centuries. This strong and ageless influence helps foster an unmatched educational environment.
As you will discover, Saint Anselm has an outstanding academic reputation and is ranked among the "Best 345 Colleges" by the Princeton Review. Dedicated to excellence in undergraduate education, the College is noted for its challenging academic curriculum that includes its nationally recognized Humanities Program, Portraits of Human Greatness.
This foundation of our core curriculum challenges students to ponder not only the works of our civilization's great men and women, but the people themselves, their values and interests, their decisions and development. In doing so, Saint Anselm offers a learning experience that not only exposes students to the vast array of human knowledge and understanding but also helps prepare them to make their own informed choices.
Guiding students to lead meaningful and balanced lives is also part of our mission and reflected in our many extra- and co-curricular options. The Meelia Center for Community Service and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, for example, together offer more than 50 different opportunities for students to become civically engaged and globally informed.
This Web site will help you learn about Saint Anselm and the various academic, spiritual, recreational, and social opportunities available here. I hope you enjoy your virtual visit, but I encourage you to experience the real thing. After visiting campus, I know that you'll be impressed with the warm, friendly atmosphere of this special place.
Thank you for your interest in Saint Anselm College.
Father Jonathan DeFelice, O.S.B. '69
